My dad is a history teacher, and when we talked about the Ottomans while I was growing up, I think he had a good way of explaining it. "The Ottoman Empire was TOO successful." For almost 600 years, no nation in Europe could really challenge it like they did each other, and Ottoman leadership understood this. As centuries passed, this led to a resistance towards reforms and modernization (why do we need to make changes when what we're doing is already making us one of the wealthiest, most powerful nations on Earth?) Meanwhile, Europe continues to change. The Congress of Vienna paves out international cooperation between European powers across the whole globe, lasting through the 19th century. The Crimean War brings forth new understadings of battle tactics and military strategy with modern weaponry. All these things go on while the Ottomans remain largely the same. Sociologically, Blue, that is not so much as "stagnation" as it is "social inertia," which is just as deadly to nations. The antebellum period before WWI came and the Ottomans finally understood the fatality of their hubris: the world had left them behind. Once that happened, all they could do was scramble for relevance... they still are today.

But Europe as a continent of Great Powers and Super Powers really is just a thing of the 19th and 20th century. And with Asian countries catching up, it's already over. Europe having global domination was a fluke of history. It's not predestined to any greatness at all.

Finally some other people who actually know about that song!

When Frederick II of Prussia was asked by a bavarian catholic, if he was allowed to live in Prussia and even spread his religion, he responded with: "All religions are equal and good, as long as it's followers are good people. And if muslims or hugenots come into our country, we shall build them mosques and churches." Since day 1, Prussia was always a country of religious freedom. From the Great Elector, who welcomed hugenots into his country, to the King of Soldiers, who rebuild an old barn into a mosque. So it's no suprise that Prussia tried to keep positive relations with the Ottoman Empire. Even Otto von Bismarck, the founding father of Germany, was a friend of the Ottoman Empire (Quote: "The love between Turks and Germans is so old, that it will never break apart."). Unlike all other european countries, who either wanted to take advantage of the "Sick man of Europe" condition or just didn't care, the germans wanted to help the Ottoman Empire, return to former glory and defend itself, from the french and british invaders. In the late 19th century, Wilhelm II of Germany visited Istanbul, where he declared himself as the "Protector of all muslims". In 1900, the germans gave the people of the Ottoman Empire a wonderful gift: the German Fountain (Which is located in Istanbul, by the way.). Meant to showcase Germany's loyality towards the Ottoman Empire. Since clean, free water was extremly rare in Istanbul, it was seen as an act of pure generousity by the locals. In order to help the Ottoman Empire, fight off the Entente, the germans build a superfast railroad through the Ottoman Empire. It ended up being extremly helpful in battle. The german soldiers also called the ottomans "Waffenbrüder", which is a affactionate way to say war ally in Germany. Despite the fall of both the German Empire and Ottoman Empire, both countries still tried to keep close ties during the 1920's. For example: When the Turkish Republic was founded, Atatürk send most turkish exchange students to german universities. The friendship between turks and prussians was also the reason why there was not only a peace treaty between Nazi Germany and the Turkish Republic, but also why turkish exchange students and tourists were treated pretty well in Nazi Germany. In other words: Bismarck was right, not even the nazis were able to destroy the friendship between Germany and Turkey. Nowadays, turks are the biggest ethnic minority in Germany and doner kebab is the most popular fast food in Germany. I just want nobody to forget this part of history.

This is such a fantastic video. You’re really good at explaining things in plane words. I also really appreciate you clarifying things we might mistakenly assume. Like, I pictured the early ottoman empire’s businesses to be more like a free market of grass roots stores and services, but you clarified “no, that’s not how things always are. Their businesses were closely tied in with the Sultan and the government as a whole”. Something that a history buff might already assume, but us averagely educated people don’t even consciously question or think about. You have definitely earned these views and while I’m not even that interested in history as a whole, I’ll be giving you a sub anyway.

Technically speaking though "chilling and doing nothing" is the exact definition of stagnation. As far as empires are concerned you're either growing or you're in decline I think. Stagnation itself is either the start of one or the other and in cases like this history has shown it to end up being the latter.

I mean yeah but it also carries the implication that it is slowly in decline. And it also gets applied in weird ways where people will insist that at times the Byzantine Empire wasn't stagnating despite never even getting close to the size of the Roman Empire, at most just reconquering a bit of land for a little while. I mean really throughout it's entire history the trend was one of decline but people will insist that it wasn't.

@6272355463637

@@hedgehog3180 Well, the Byzantine Empire started as THE major player in the region and ended as a starving, besieged city with not even enough inhabitants to man the walls it was cowering behind. So was it in constant stagnation or decline throughout its thousand-year history? Hardly. First of all, peace and stability is not the same as stagnation - during peacetime in the early half or so of its history, Constantinople and other towns in the Empire prospered. Trade made the city rich, technological superiority and infrastructure, massive fortifications and a strong military kept it safe. The Empire protected pilgrims to the "Holy Land", the Eastern Church helped influence religion throughout all of Europe (though perhaps not as much as patriarchs would have liked). Wars for territory and influence were won and lost, there were strong and weak rulers, times of prosperity and depression but the Empire and its capital stood strong. A somewhat steady decline only happened during the latter few centuries of its history. The technological edge diminished, the wealth was lost in large part to crusaders looting the city, Italian republics took over the trade and in the end, even the mighty Theodosian Walls fell to the Turkish invaders. Sure, the Byzantine Empire never lived up to Roman greatness at the height of its power and an argument can be made that it was merely the last vestige of the declining Roman Empire. But to believe that an empire can exist for a thousand years in constant stagnation or decline is just silly.

You did not mentioned about battle of Vienna which was quite important. Fun fact is as well that when Poland has gone from the map (partitions of Poland), the Ottoman Empire was one of only two countries in the world that refused to accept the partitions, (the other being the Persian Empire), and reserved a place in its diplomatic corps for an Ambassador of Lehistan (Poland). Despite the fact that they had fought against each other years earlier.

I don't think the Siege of Vienna was quite as important as the Battle of Lepanto, which Blue did not do justice in this video at all, as it was the Ottomans' defeat at Lepanto that permanantly trapped them in the increasingly insignificant Eastern Mediterranean and locked them out of the global trade network that would contribute to their decline and collapse.

Being from a country that was formerly under ottoman occupation i have to admit the strategies they were using to keep a hold of our territories was impressive (though a bit of a pain in the butt), at least here in Romania To make it short they were sending foreign leaders (usually from greece and albania) -that wouldn't support a counyry they're not from anyways- to rule over as little territory as possible and not letting them in charge for more than 3 years to make sure they didnt consolidate their power

I dunno, I think the idea of "stagnation" is fitting if they fall behind technologically and won't do administrative and cultural reforms. A vibrant empire in a decent plateau, "chilling" and content with not continuing to take over, needs to continue to reform to remain vibrant. The stagnation wasn't the lack of continued territorial growth, but the lack of reforms until it was kinda too late. Anyway, I see the Ottomans referred to as the "sick old man of Europe" far more in the 19th century, when the problems from that stagnation really came to a head, as you noted. Before then, the Ottomans were a major power, and probably considered the big threat to Europe at large until the Battle of Vienna in 1683 (certainly not seen as a sick pushover at least until then), which was the last attempt of the Ottomans to push that far west... and they almost took Vienna, but in the aftermath lost a bunch of territory in Europe. I think that's when they start to really be looked down on, but I still think most of the stagnation is under the surface, but very real. So I think "stagnation" is a good word.

My ancestors were under ottoman slavery for five centuries. The ottomans were extremely horrific to say the least- they wanted to turn my people into muslims and if they refused, they would die, they kidnapped young christian boys and trained them to become enichari, then when they grow up, they usually go to fight against their own people( more on that subject you can see in the film Time of violence. It is historically accurate), my home town was burned 5 times, they even had a "kill at least 1 christian in order to go to heaven" rule. At first they did not even allow us to have our own church and schools. After the Aprilian uprising(20th April 1876), the ottomans showed their true colour- they started to brutally murder people( that includes women and children). Some of the foreign visitors described that scenery as that the streets were like rivers of blood and the mountains were like made of corpses. Unfortunately, this wasn't far from the true- in Batak, for example, you can visit a church in which you can see the bones of some of the victims of that slaughtering. Some of them were literal babys. As a whole, that state was very brutal and for me it will always be an empire of pure evil. I'm glad that their descendants have nothing to do with them and that they( or at least the ones that I had talked to) are very polite, helpful and well-mannered people.
